Palestinian detained at SFO, deported is reported killed in West Bank
Awdah Al-Hathaleen, a Palestinian teacher from the West Bank who was recently denied entry to the U.S. by San Francisco immigration authorities when he arrived on a valid visa, was shot and killed today in an altercation with an Israeli settler according to family and Middle East journalists. Phillip Weintraub, a lead organizer of a Palestinian solidarity committee at Kehilla Community Synagogue, who helped sponsor Al-Hathaleen when he attempted to visit San Francisco in June, said he learned of the Al-Hathaleen's death through Alhadlin’s cousin, Eid Hthaleen.
